About Y Dderwen

Y Dderwen is a sleek wooden pod tucked away in rural Denbighshire, Wales. This single-storey hideaway sits on the edge of Bontuchel near Ruthin. The contemporary wood-cladded design makes this accommodation stand out from your typical holiday digs. Think modern cabin meets luxury escape pad.

The Welsh countryside rolls out in all directions. Sheep dot the hills and the views are fantastic. Perfect for stargazing while you're getting pruney in the hot tub. Ruthin town is just 3.4 miles away when you need supplies or fancy a pint. It's quiet enough to hear yourself think but not so remote you'll start talking to volleyballs.

Inside Y Dderwen you'll find a king-size bed, smart kitchenette with 2-ring induction hob, microwave, fridge and all essentials. The bathroom features a walk-in shower. Thoughtful extras include bathrobes, slippers and complimentary toiletries. Entertainment? Smart TV and WiFi sorted. Outside there's a front patio with furniture and a gas BBQ.

Visit Ruthin Castle (10 minutes), explore Loggerheads Country Park (15 minutes), hike Moel Famau (20 minutes), or drive to Llangollen (25 minutes) for canal boat trips. The location is spot-on for exploring North Wales without spending half your holiday in the car.

Y Dderwen is couple's paradise. Fairy lights around the hot tub at night? Check. Prosecco on arrival? Often included. The owner clearly knows what makes a romantic break tick. Just don't get too frisky - those sheep are watching.

Lyndsay
We have just returned from a 3 night stay at the pod. On arrival there was a lovely little surprise of a bottle of Prosecco and some caramel waffles which we thought was a lovely touch. Elen came to us and explained how the hot tub worked and answered any questions that we had. The pod is beautiful, exactly as described and exceptionally clean. lovely little touches made it more special such as bath robes and slippers and even blankets incase it got a little chilly outside. The hot tub was amazing and we went in each night, it was so relaxing with an amazing view. We visited for a relaxing weekend and we loved it, the facilities were great and we will be recommending to friends and family. We will definitely return again. Thank you
This is the 2nd time we have stayed and yet again another first class stay! The owner is lovely she couldn't do enough for us! We will come again!! Thank you Elin xx

Amazing Pod and Hot tub, Great location, the owner made us feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The little touches made it even better. Truly relaxed and recharged after our weekend here.
Gillian
This was our second visit, and it didn't disappoint. It was exceptionally clean and the welcome gifts are a lovely gesture. The hosts have thought of everything and were very accommodating. It is in a beautiful location and so peaceful.
Y Dderwen was perfect for my boyfriend & I for our 3 night stay. The pod was clean & spacious and had everything we needed. The little touches such as a bottle of Prosecco on arrival, toiletries, hot water bottle and blankets that was provided was a bonus. The view of sheep was fabulous. We loved the hot tub & the BBQ. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
The most amazing place tostay! ! The pod is clean tidy and has everything you need! It's the perfect size! The grounds are beautiful and the views are amazing! The little touches make it even better like the welcome hamper! We had the best time and we will definitely be back! Thank you so much!! X
Gareth
Could not fault the place. The bath robes an slippers were a lovely touch and the basket of goodies was also much appreciated. Owner came over and gave us a run down on how to use jacuzzi which was good. Told me any problems just give her a call, no problems what so ever. Would recommend this place to anyone as once here you forget about whats happening in the rest of the world. The old saying happy wife happy life fits perfectly for this place.
Shakiba
It was a well presented and accurate to the way it was advertised. For a first time experience in a pod it has certainly set the mark to do it again. The experience of relaxation was well felt with the hot tub and the sheeps, watching nature and embracing the calmness. Would recommend to experience.
Alison
We had such a lovely relaxing stay at Y Dderwen from 1214th August! The pod was just what we wanted, it was lovely and clean and comfortable. We loved the hot tub and the views! We arrived to find a just married banner and decor and a bottle of Prosecco after we recently got married which was the most lovely touch! We didnt venture out too much as we went just to relax in the hot tub in peace! but the location of the pod is great. We will definitely be returning and have recommended to family and friends! Thank you for a beautiful part 1 of our honeymoon Mr and Mrs Guerrieria x
We thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay at the pods in Bontuchel near Ruthin,North wales. The site was stunning , amazing views of the countryside, very quiet area. Very relaxing and tranquil place. The pods themselves were immaculately clean and modern, had everything you could possibly need for your stay. Welcomed by the lovely hosts when we arrived Also the treats they had for us was a lovely touch. Everything about our stay was perfect, from relaxing in the hot tub to our lovely scenic walks around the beautiful area. We will be back next year and we will definitely be recommending the pods to our friends and family
Lovely, clean and comfortable accommodation. Great to use as a base then travel to different parts of Wales but fabulous to come back and relax in a quiet and tranquil space, the hot tub being a great added bonus. We would definitely recommend.
Fantastic accommodation, perfect for a relaxing time away .
WOW Where do I start? As soon as we arrived we knew this was going to be something special when we saw the views from the patio, then we went inside what a wonderful little pod everything you need for a short stay, it was warm, comfortable and so quiet. Elen was the perfect host she came to explain how everything worked especially the hot tub which was really good I can strongly reccomend this place and we shall be returning
Stephen
We had a excellent holiday in the pod, it was very comfortable and exceptionally clean and it had plenty of room for two people, it was also great to be able to use the hot tub after a long day. The location was very quiet and peaceful and there were great views over the countryside. The owner Elen was very friendly and called round to see us to ensure that everything was fine. We enjoyed our stay in the pod and we definitely intend to return in the near future. Highly recommended.
Lovely quiet location, owners welcomed us shortly after arrival and made themselves available for any enquiries over the weekend. The Wife didn't want to return to reality! Highly recommend, and will be visiting again in the future! The baby lambs in the field opposite were also very friendly! Always a bonus!

If youre looking for a relaxing peaceful place this is the place to go. Hot tub included thank you Elen will we definitely be coming back x
Bradley
Was an absolutely lovely stay, Elen was very attentive and informative. The pod was crystal clean and came with everything we needed for the week. The BBQ and hot tub were amazing and we struggled to leave the pod even to have a walk around. Honestly the best break we've had in a while including going abroad. Romantic, secluded, and quiet. Cannot recommend enough!!
Owner met us when we arrived to make sure we knew how to work everything. Amazing location, not far from the local town. Welcome pack was a nice touch had a lot of information in, with some nice sweet treats. Hot tub was really nice, being able to chill and sit and watch the sun set. The pod itself was luxurious, very clean and tidy when we arrived and the decor matched the area. I extremally enjoyed my stay here, would defiantly stay again.
Sophie
On arrival we were overwhelmed by how beautiful it is, from the setting to the accommodation itself. Excellent communication from owner. We really enjoyed using the hot tub despite being unlucky with the weather. The complimentary snacks and processco was a lovely touch. Just beautiful all round. We found a fantastic restaurant in Ruthin called small plates. We'd love to return! Thank you
Absolutely amazing, Elen was a great host and made us feel so welcome. Welcome pack was a lovely touch and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. Would recommend and definitely go back
Brilliant value for money, everything was clean and fresh. The attention to detail was great, with the local treats and the bottle of Prosecco down to the booklet with recommendations on things to do, places to see, restaurants to visit. Have recommended this to friends since our visit and hope you get some business from it, we really enjoyed our stay.
Sandra
What an amazing place to stay, absolutely loved it, the sheep were great company, ideal location to drive to various places, Ellen was lovely and explained everything to us, the pod was clean and had everything you needed. Would highly recommend.
Absolutely beautiful. I cant remember the last time I was so relaxed. The hot tub was the icing on the cake. Gorgeous setting with a stunning view. Highly recommended and we will definitely be going there again soon.
This was by far the best staycation we have been on. The pod is situated in the loveliest of settings with the most amazing views surrounded by the sound of nature. Amazing hosts, lovely welcome gift on arrival which was unexpected and the added bonus of a bbq. We loved this so much we have already booked again for later in the year. Looking forward to it already! Sarah & Tristan
Jessica
I highly recommend the stay at the pods. It was a perfect weekend getaway and so relaxing. As we arrived we were amazed by the view from the pod. There was a welcome pack on the table which consisted of Prosecco, and snacky bits which were a lovely touch. The pod was squeaky clean and the hot tub was already set up when we arrived. By the door of the pods is a box which contains pillows and blankets for when it gets colder at night and you still want to sit out on chairs and table. Its a short drive into the town of Ruthin and is a great location! We will be returning in the future to these pods!
Alexander
A fantastic property that exceeded expectations. Facilities and lodge were faultless, amazing view, lovely welcome basket and host was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the stay. Cannot recommend enough and looking forward to a return visit at some point in the future! Thank you
Francesca
What a perfect stay! It was everything we could have wanted and more. The welcome package was a lovely touch prosecco, chocolates and waffles and there was everything you needed for a fabulous time away. The pod was extremely clean and the views were devine. The bed was really comfy and the pod was just the right temperature. The only thing Id suggest is having outdoor towels although there was robes or bring your own towel for the hot tub as we ended up using the bathroom towels to dry ourselves.
Nathan
Fantastically put together and provides enough room to move around comfortably but with no compromise of comfort or styling. Lovely area and great experience all round other than the weather being typical Welsh
